The original buildings of the shipping company were carefully restored. The new tower reflects the experiences of the former travellers, who looked out over Antwerp from the towering ocean steamers.
The Red Star Line was active on 'het Eilandje' in Antwerp’s harbour for more than half a century. All that activity left traces in the city, especially on 'het Eilandje'.
The museum shop has something ‘nautical’ that will appeal to you. Take a look in the shop after your museum visit or just drop by. The entrance is free.
The entrance to the shed is accessible for free. Till 5 PM you can enter the shop and temporary exhibition. Feel free to have a chat at our museum café during the weekend and/or events.
